I feel GOOOOD! Nannahnanananaaa! So good. So Fine. I feel goood!

Hump Day. Yeehaw!

We got an interesting start on the day. I arrived at the office to find KO already milling about. He was needing to go to town to work on the air conditioner in truck #16. He wanted to know if I wanted to ride along and bring back my S-10, because it has been parked at CC&S for weeks on end. It has been convenient to have it there, but there have been air conditioner parts sitting in the floorboard of the company truck I am driving, waiting for an opportunity for me to flush the system and install the new accumulator and compressor. I am needing to get get the faulty compressor returned so they can warranty it!

O.K., I kind of got off track. KO and I got to Abilene and began to case the truck out while we waited for the driver to show up with the key. We began to replace air filters until the driver drove up. Once we started the truck, KO attached the gauges and they showed low side pressure was low, high side pressure was to high. Sight glass indicated low freon level, but in hot temperatures the high pressure switch cuts the compressor off. None of the different scenarios should go together. We are thinking that there is an expansion valve with a problem. We are trying to do a temporary fix to keep the driver happy until we can get it to the fleet shop and drain the system to replace the faulty valve.

I did pick up the S-10, it now sits at the back of the office building. Hopefully with it being accessible and all the needed parts being on hand, circumstances will be conducive to me getting the parts installed. I know my pocketbook could use the relief because gas is high! The company truck was taking an extra twenty-five dollars for gas each week over the "S", no telling what it is with the higher prices. I may need to just retire. Stuff envelopes from my home.

School began Monday for the oldest boy of the owner, yesterday was the first "pre-school" day for the youngest. It was really quiet on the office front yesterday. I think every once in a while DO would think that the boys are too quiet and then remember she had an empty nest for the day. The boys may have handled it better than Mom did.

I think we are looking for something that does not exist. We are asking for quotes and availability on fifteen to eighteen, 57 ft. plate van trailers. Not something someone can retire on the commissions, but it would be a solid lick. So far the closest we can come is on used units (1990 models, yuk!) that have been turned in from leases. New, I figure you are talking three hundred thousand dollars. Used prices will be whatever the market will bear. Just now I took a call and they said the entire used group I talked about earlier in this paragraph were purchased sight unseen by another buyer! Hopefully there is another group coming in later this month.

It is getting slow here in the office, finally. I am the only one left at the office. My day is almost in the books. I can't wait to get to the house, Krl called and told me she had a pot of red beans going and was figuring to put on a pan of cornbread. A West Texas boy's vision of sugar plums dancing in my head!

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for all YOU do. I ask for YOUR continued guidance and wisdom. I ask for YOUR healing. I pray for Krl and ask for her continued healing and renewal. I pray for those near and dear who are in need of YOUR many gifts of healing and care. I ask YOUR comfort for those who are hurting from loss. I pray for those of us who struggle to follow YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. I pray for the efforts being made to expand YOUR kingdom. Glory and honor!
